Well I just spent my last day with my truck, I am trading it in for a mini-van tomorrow.... yes I said it. As much as i love this truck I cannot afford to drive it, things have come up and I now have to travel a 4 hour drive at least three times a week, and as you all know the truck loves its gas, and I am pretty sure all the long drives will just wear the truck out anyway, so tommorow i will be trading it in for a brand new van.. Peace out, thnks for all the advise, and enjoy your trucks boys..

 

But of all things a mini van?

 

Good luck with your new purchase and be safe with your travel time. Sometimes we just need to take drastic measures, that is what life is about. It was nice having you around.

 

Good Luck. Hopefully someday you will be able to get another truck.

 

The wife talked you into it huh?

 

good luck with the van, you gotta do what you gotta do!

 

 

Trading it in for maybe 3 mpg
Or are there other factors (family) ?

 

why a mini-van there are way better cars for traveling in then a mini-van even suvs are better then a mini-van but you have to do what you have to do sorry that you have to go maybe someday a truck will come back your way

 

 

The wife is definatly happy about this trade in..... And yes I have 2 kids, and Im sure I will get better gas milage with the van, and its brand new, with a warrenty, alot of factors have played into this, I just think the truck is not a good traveling vehicle, to much to wear out, But anyway, maybe ill post a pic of it, if its OK to put a dodge on here,.,.,.LMFAO

 

What about a Tahoe, Suburban, Expedition or an Explorer?

 

Ah, the greatest loss of manhood..... the truck for the mini-van.

It's a sad day in manville....

(lol, good luck)

 

enjoy the new ride, I hope it comes with a trailer hitch

 

More stuff to wear out? I'm pretty sure most vehicles share the bulk of the same wearable-components. I would have gone a different direction before the mini-van, especially with only two kids. I'd rather get a sedan or station wagon (read Dodge Magnum) if I was going to move out from a truck/suv. I can't imagine you're saving a ton of money on fuel savings/repairs when you are just taking on monthly payments instead of repair bills. To each his own though.
